Chapter 20: Direct Confrontation

Behind him was the buzzing of the swarm of demonic insects. They were not yet close but the scent of blood filled the air. The local tyrant Chu Yu’s eyebrows drew together. He did not hesitate and hurled a fire talisman in their direction. The demonic worms that had evolved into insects instinctively feared fire so their flying speed was slow as they pursued him.

Chu Yu was a little relieved and sped up Xun Sheng. He turned his head then ran into a pure, white jade-like beautiful face.

WTF!

Chu Yu almost jumped from the shock. He clenched his teeth to push down a feeling of horror and turned the horror into surging anger: “Why did you not go back to the city?!”

Xie Xi came flying up on his immortal sword, with his white robes flying, messy hair, and slightly pursed lips. He said, in a tone as though he was wronged: “Da Shixiong said he would never leave me.”

When did I say that?

Chu Yu recalled how he would coax the protagonist in the past but he still did not remember when he said that. The demonic insects were buzzing nearby so Chu Yu had to withdraw and throw out another fire talisman. “Xie Xi! You won’t listen to your Shixiong?! Go back to the city and I’ll come back to you!”

Formerly the original Chu Yu would only call Xie Xi “trash” and later Chu Yu called him “Shidi” or “Xi-er.” This is the first time that Chu Yu called him by his full name. Xie Xi’s face turned pale but he didn’t back down: “Da Shixiong, I can help you! I won’t let you face the danger alone!”

Three years ago in Qinghe town, Xie Xie knew he was too weak to help suppress the water demons. For three years he has been working hard to catch up to Chu Yu, to surpass him and to protect him. Now he’s really in danger.

Chu Yu did not want Xie Xi to wade into these dangerous waters – he should not have been in Fang Ye City at all. At this time Xie Xi should be in Yuan Chen Peak, cultivating in a spirit cave, safe and sound, not desperately fighting for his life here!

Chu Yu was angry: “Do you want to be punished?!”

Xie Xi’s face was pale: “I follow Shixiong’s teachings.”

Chu Yu was extremely angry. He saw that they were getting close to the river and sighed: “Stay close to me.”

Before they reached the banks of the river, the demonic insects became agitated. The water of the river is torrential and immeasurably deep. The demonic insects instinctively dread fire and water. Fire and water are their nemesis but the demonic insects were only restless for a moment before they settled down.

Chu Yu, on his flying sword, stopped over the river, placing himself in front of Xie Xi’s body: “Stay behind me; do not move. Shixiong will protect you.”

His protective stance was similar to that of an adult who needs to protect a three-year-old child. Xie Xi was startled and murmured: “Shixiong.”

Chu Yu must focus his attention to the main task at hand; there was no time to attend to other things. He stared at the hundreds of black demonic insects and quickly made a series of hand seals. His hands released an enormous ray of blue light that filled the sky with its power and made the waters of the river below surge. There was a shock of thunder, like an angry dragon.
